What is an economics degree?

A degree in economics will equip you with a deep understanding of how economies function and the principles governing economic behavior. You will choose from three pathways matched to different post-graduate plans: 

• Our Bachelor of Arts in Economics is designed to be open and flexible, allowing you to complement economics with studies in data science, public policy, business, and other fields.  

• Our Bachelor of Science in Economics seeks to prepare you for quantitatively demanding careers and graduate school in economics.  

• Finally, our Bachelor of Science in Financial Economics seeks to prepare you for careers in the finance departments of non-financial corporations, but also the world of financial institutions from investment banks to personal financial advising.
